Mountain Bike Monday - A snowy path
Although a little cold yesterday, it was absolutely gorgeous at the park!
A friend of ours joined us for a snowy spin at Poco!
And, we really had a great time!
I had never ridden at the park on snow covered paths, so it was a new experience.
And, I loved it! Surprisingly, I had more traction than I thought I would. Dynamo reminded me that these are mountain bikes with knobby tires!
I took it easy on the downhills because I wasn't sure how much I would slide.
I can honestly say that I am really looking forward to more snowy rides this winter! It does take a little more work and you have to pay closer attention, but the scenery is worth it!
I really wanted to see the split rock covered with snow! So, we headed over to Forest Exploration to check it out!
It was beautiful so we stopped to snap a self portrait!
And, then we headed onward...
There were lots of bikers, hikers, and runners out. I guess they wanted to experience the park snowy like us!
The day was pretty! My toes got a little chilly, but it was worth it.
The dam near the parking area was sparkling...
It was a lovely afternoon! Even the lake had some icy spots!
Hope you enjoyed the snow if you happened to be lucky enough to get some!
